This is not a viper problem. Seems like something with advice when it is loaded
before custom-set-faces. Try this as the .emacs file - the same problem.

(require 'advice)

(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 90 :width normal :foundry "monospace" :family "monospace")))))

There is no problem what advice is loaded after.
